Reply to comment by xdzgor in Eurozone inflation falls sharply as energy prices drop by misana123
Your numbers are inherently flawed. Not sure if it’s because of you’re lack of understanding or intentional. You cant have 1xxx in February and have 5xxxx in March.

They're just examples - there were no actual numbers in the article, only dates and percentage increases

In your example you have 500% inflation from F22 - M22. Then 4xx% deflation M22 to F23. Then almost 500% inflation again. Although they technically fit the headline, the narrative won’t be the same, as you likely have currency instability. More accurate numbers would be
Feb 2022 = $100 Mar 2022 = $100 Feb 2023 = $115 Mar 2023 = $115.4
What they’re not showing, is January numbers, which hypothetically could look like
Jan 2022 = $100 Jan 2023 = $110
Adding that, you can see the rate of change YoY being 10%, 15%, 15.4%.
Not sure if that helps you visualize it better.
